Customers are saying

Customers value the Media Remote for its ease of use, affordability, and functionality. They appreciate the convenience of controlling their Xbox without the need for a controller, especially for streaming shows. However, some users have expressed concerns about the remote's line-of-sight requirement and the need for direct pointing, as well as its build quality and use of infrared technology.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    The controller doesn’t feel cheap for the price, it has really good range but you have to make sure that nothing is blocking your inflated in front of you Xbox one, I have an Xbox one s and it works great, I had no problems with it yet and almost hit the two month mark and use it daily, also I have drop it multiple times and nothing has happen to it so I recommend it for the money and the ease of not having to use a controller to use streaming apps.

    Using with an Xbox Series X. Biggest con: it basically requires line-of-sight to operate the Xbox Series X, and I'm talking pretty precise line-of-sight (maybe less than 30 degrees off-angle in either direction). A bit of lag between pushing a button and something happening on-screen. Otherwise, it's a remote, does what it's supposed to do.
